Question

C(8,-1) and D (-2,3) what is the distance between the two points

Answer 1

D=10.71

Explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

`D=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Where

`(x_1,y_1) = (8,-1)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (-2,3)`

Replacing these values in the distance formula

`D =√((3-(-1))^2+(-2-8)^2)`

`D =√((3+1))^2+(-10)^2)`

`D =√((4)^2+(-10)^2)`

`D =√(16+100)`

`D =√(116)`

`D= 10.71`
